This was the best decision I made for my son to come to this school...within the first semester my son showed a HUGE improvement and also more confident and happy being here...I will definitely continue to having my son and my youngest at this school till graduation. You will not be disappointed in enrolling your kids at this incredible school. Mr. and Mrs. Tullis are truly a blessing!

OUR EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
VCLA's educational philosophy is centered on four main criteria:
Small Student to Teacher Ratio
Students don't get overlooked, experience less class disruptions, encourage class participation, and build rapport with teachers.
Inclusive Learning Environment
Inclusiveness builds student's self-esteem, develops independence, demonstrates appreciation for diversity, creates a culture of collaboration and teamwork, and teaches essential life and leadership skills.
Comprehensive Approach
With the input of parents and staff, students set goals for every aspect of their lives; spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially, and academically.
Academic Customization
Academic instruction is delivered in a manner that highlights and advances the individual skills and need of each student.
These four criterium ensure that each student's environment aids in their academic success.
Elementary School This curriculum focuses on developing strong foundational skills on the subjects of math, language, and reading to ensure future success while placing them in a socially rich environment.
